For a short time at the end of September, Cash App and Sabrina Carpenter took over New York City's Partners Coffee on 44 Charles Street to bring the Short N' Sweet Cafe to life. This immersive experience inspired by Carpenter’s chart-topping album featured a blue color palette, plenty of heart motifs and artful decor to delight fans.
At the pop-up cafe, fans got the chance to take photos, snag limited-edition merch and sample Sabrina-inspired menu items like the Dumb & Poetic Latte and the Common Sense Cold Brew. For fans of the Espresso singer who don't consume caffeine, or prefer alternatives, the pop-up also served refreshing options like the Butterfly Matcha Lemonade.
